This was my second Vonnegut book. I had previously listened to "Mother Night". I did not like this one as much as Mother Night but I must admit that there is something about Vonnegut that brings your thoughts back to his odd tales. This is a book that keeps on giving because the listener feels strangely compelled to make sense of something that, I get the impression, the author never cared if it made sense.

brilliant novel, a lesson in humility, a glimpse into what humanity has meant, and all the richness of written word as a triple chocolate fudge cake. I'd mark a star off for getting lost towards the last third of the novel, but I know that's my own damn fault ;p.

I love Kurt Vonnegut. He is so creative and funny, and Cat's Cradle was no exception. I find his work intellectually challenging as well, so if you like humor and irony that is on a little higher level than most fiction, you might enjoy this.
